Rock Instrumental Classics Vol 2 The Sixties

User Reviews

5 Stars Classic instrumentals
Great representative selections from the golden years of instrumental rock led by the Ventures and surf bands. This stuff was so cool that a number of TV shows and movies have used music from this era. I had the cassette version several years ago and the CD has additional tracks. Highly recommended.

5 Stars A Great Companion to Volume 1 (See my review)
Some of these songs are easily available elsewhere,such as “Because They’re Young”,

“Telstar”, and, of course, “Walk, Don’t Run”.

But most of the rest are rarely available and not often played.

Besides, they are Great Hits in their own right.

So . . . buy it, you’ll like it! (To paraphrase a ’60s commercial).

5 Stars memorys brought back
I had been looking for one particular instrumental for many years and was unable to remember what it was called until I got on Amazon and was able to listen to clips of songs on this CD. I was so excited to had finally found it on this CD. This entire CD has so many great tunes that have been long lost over the years. I play it every single day, guess I should have bought 2. But all kidding aside if you enjoyed the great instrumentals back in the 60’s and your not sure if you really remember them, go to this site to hear bits of each song and I am sure it will bring back many memories. It has for me!

3 Stars Instrumentals you never hear on oldies stations
The songs on this album, with only a couple exceptions, are ones that just don’t seem to get any play on oldies stations.

My favorite song on the album is “Apache.” I remember it well from my childhood days. I also really like “Classical Gas,” “No Mater What Shape,” and “Wheels.”

I think the instrumentals selected for this compilation were good choices for the time period represented. I’m glad I bought this album.

I’m going to try to be conservative with my “stars,” so that I can reward an exceptionally good album with the fifth star. Please don’t think that the three star rating I have given this album means that I didn’t like it or would not buy it, if I had it to do over again.

5 Stars rarely heard on radio
This collection, along with the rock instrumental 50’s classic is a great addition to any collection,for you don’t hear these recordings hardly at all.The availability of these cd’s is a very good thing, as to get all these hits together at an excellant price is extremely hard to do and find.All these songs are original and of course,Rhino, can be counted on for the real stuff.This cd should be given 10 stars.
